Obviously any race in tomorrow's massive P6 carryover at Gulf is a big race, but this may be the one that separates the tickets the most.
I'm sure many will look to single with Sadler's Joy, and other's may look to
themselves out of this one.
Markitoff: Pretty solid effort last out in good company. Getting weight, and could be an interesting price underneath. Really tough to see on top.
Bullard's Alley: Long-timer at this level and distance turf races. Take away Woodbine, and he isn't all that tough. Ortiz in the saddle will take more money than he is worth.
Hi Happy: Hasn't really ever ran a bad race. Even his 7th in an 8 horse race in his 1st time in the states wasn't all that bad. 3/1 is a bit sketchy, and connections will make that line hold. Must include in horizontals.
Classic Covey: Lightly raced. 3rd as a 4YO. I'm reaching here to find positives. 20/1 ML will balloon to 60/1+.
Little Nick V.: Recently gelded. In form. But he should be racing against optional claimers. Serious stretch by the connections here.
Tiz a Slam: Improving 4YO in his 2nd race as a 4YO. Training lights out. ML 20/1, and all signs point to go. A must include for me on
ANY ticket at a hopeful price of 12/1 or better.
Bigger Picture: Major contender. Beat Sadler's Joy 4 back. 19 for 29 in the money with 11 career victories. This guy rarely runs a bad race and has to be respected in here. Should get a very square price if you like him to win.
Sadler's Joy: Ran a monster in the BC Turf, and came back in impressive fashion to kick off his 5YO season. The one to beat and will be a single on a number of horizontal tickets.
One Go All Go: Tough cranking last out doing all the dirty work up front. A hard-knocker that needs to be included in Tri's and Supers.
Going bombing here with the
in horizontals as I see
Sadler's Joy as vunerable in here.
